Method of Using Absorbent Device for Cleaning and Drying Purposes

Abstract

A method of cleaning and drying a hollow cavity with a cleaning apparatus which is made of a flexible, soft, and moisture absorbent material. A structural body of the cleaning apparatus contains a first wide base, a first narrow base, and a first conical lateral surface. The conical shape of the structural body allows the user to maintain a firm grasp during the cleaning and drying process. The cleaning process can be completed by either scarping an inner surface of the hollow cavity or by dabbing the inner surface of the hollow cavity. The flexible and soft material ensures that no damage is caused to the inner surface during the cleaning and drying process.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method for using an absorbent device for cleaning and drying purposes comprises the steps of:
 providing a cleaning apparatus, wherein the cleaning apparatus is made with a flexible material;   providing a first structural body of the cleaning apparatus with a first wide base, a first narrow base, and a first conical lateral surface;   providing a hollow cavity on an external body surface;   gripping the cleaning apparatus at the first wide base;   positioning the first narrow base adjacent the hollow cavity;   aligning the first narrow base with an opening of the hollow cavity;   inserting the cleaning apparatus into the hollow cavity through the opening;   cleaning secreted material from an inner surface of the hollow cavity with the cleaning apparatus;   collecting the secreted material with the cleaning apparatus;   removing the cleaning apparatus from the hollow cavity; and   disposing the cleaning apparatus.   
     
     
         2 . The method for using an absorbent device for cleaning and drying purposes as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the secreted material is cleaned by scraping the inner surface. 
     
     
         3 . The method for using an absorbent device for cleaning and drying purposes as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the secreted material is cleaned by dabbing the inner surface. 
     
     
         4 . The method for using an absorbent device for cleaning and drying purposes as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a hollow core area is enclosed by the first wide base, the first narrow base, and the first conical lateral surface. 
     
     
         5 . The method for using an absorbent device for cleaning and drying purposes as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a solid core area is enclosed by the first wide base, the first narrow base, and the first conical lateral surface. 
     
     
         6 . The method for using an absorbent device for cleaning and drying purposes as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a moisture absorbent material is provided for the cleaning apparatus. 
     
     
         7 . The method for using an absorbent device for cleaning and drying purposes as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein a disposable material is provided for the cleaning apparatus. 
     
     
         8 . The method for using an absorbent device for cleaning and drying purposes as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the hollow cavity is an ear canal. 
     
     
         9 . The method for using an absorbent device for cleaning and drying purposes as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the hollow cavity is a nasal cavity. 
     
     
         10 . The method for using an absorbent device for cleaning and drying purposes as claimed in  claim 1  further comprises the steps of:
 providing a second structural body with a second wide base, a second narrow base, and a second conical lateral surface, wherein the second wide base is attached to the first structural body at the first wide base; 
 providing a second hollow cavity on an external body surface; 
 gripping the second structural body at the second wide base; 
 positioning the second narrow base adjacent the second hollow cavity; 
 aligning the second narrow base with a second opening of the second hollow cavity; 
 cleaning second secreted material from a second inner surface of the second hollow cavity with the cleaning apparatus; 
 collecting the second secreted material with the cleaning apparatus; and 
 removing the cleaning apparatus from the second hollow cavity. 
 
     
     
         11 . The method for using an absorbent device for cleaning and drying purposes as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the second secreted material is cleaned by scraping the second inner surface. 
     
     
         12 . The method for using an absorbent device for cleaning and drying purposes as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the second secreted material is cleaned by dabbing the second inner surface. 
     
     
         13 . The method for using an absorbent device for cleaning and drying purposes as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein a hollow core area is enclosed by the second wide base, the second narrow base, and the second conical lateral surface. 
     
     
         14 . The method for using an absorbent device for cleaning and drying purposes as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein a solid core area is enclosed by the second wide base, the second narrow base, and the second conical lateral surface. 
     
     
         15 . The method for using an absorbent device for cleaning and drying purposes as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the second hollow cavity is a second ear canal. 
     
     
         16 . The method for using an absorbent device for cleaning and drying purposes as claimed in  claim 10 , wherein the second hollow cavity is a second nasal cavity.
